to prove the relationship with my brother who is in canada

(1) do i need to send only photocopy or notarized photocopy of his landing card and record of landing

(2) to prove he is currently living in canada, what i need to provide, should i provide bank statement, bill , or ?? should they be notarised or photocopy is enough

(3) do i need to send his original birth certificate or notarised copy will do

thanks
 
Dear wxyz123
1- Your brother's Permanent residence card copy
2- Your father's form B which includes your brother's, sister's and your name. If Form B is in other then English
make true translation in English.
I think it enough to prove that he is your brother

Hope for the best

birth certificate is compulsory.
 
you need to send :

Proof of relationship to your close relative in Canada, such as birth, marriage or adoption certificates.
•If your close relative is a permanent resident of Canada: photocopy of his or her Record of Landing (IMM 1000), Confirmation of Permanent Residence or Permanent Resident Card.


if the birth certificate is not possible , send form B with explanation why.

s.t the visa office request proof that ur brother is physically in canada as add doc request, in this case u have to send utility bill, telephone bill, tax payment ,etc.
 
Hi

I'd think you can send the following:

1. a legible PHOTOCOPY of his record of landing (or PR card)
2. PHOTOCOPY of either a current (issued during preceding 6 months) bank statement, credit card bill, utility bill, rental contract (if you prefer send more then one of these)
3. a NOTARIZED photocopy will completely do! (so will a photocopy)

Good luck //
 
thanks guys for your worthy comments

tell me one thing should i notarise his landing card / proff of landing or just a photocopy is enough because you know its costly in canada to notarise documents

what about bank statement, bill, tenancy agreement, tax statement , should they also be notariised or just a photocopy

thanks much

The visa office specific instructions for London say that all photocopies must be "notarized" (certified, really).

Your brother can take photocopies of his documents, along with the originals, to a Service Canada location and get them certified for free.

It was when I did it in Ontario...

You can also order the certified record from CIC -this is probably better for your purposes -
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/factsheet.asp

"For Canadian citizens and/or permanent residents of Canada

To obtain a certified copy of your own Record of Landing or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (either as principle applicant or accompanying dependent) for legal purposes, please visit or write your nearest Canada Immigration Centre. Fee: $30.00 (payable to the Receiver General of Canada by cheque or money order)."

hi jes!

if it costs $30 to notarise one document only then it will be very expensive to certify like 10 pages. i dont wana do
 
does anybody know a photocopy of prr card / poof of landing will work or a notarised copy is must because it costs $30 to notarise one page and it will be every expensive to notarise all pages. my brother will send me about 10 pages including bills, bank statement, tax statement etc

thx all in advance
